Just did my haul. This is what I got: 226 Equilibrium Carbonized Rebel (this is not part on the perm collection in Finland) Peachstock I'm still thinking about a few items. Prince Noir lipstick, Dark Envy and Diversion looked awesome too, so might have to go check them out again later. All in all liked the colours alot, but the quads were a litte meh for me.

See, I'm a nc44 and I'm warm and I loved it... But my lips are on the pink side, so I think the color pulled that.

temptalia says it is permanent http://www.temptalia.com/mac-mac-me-over-collection-fall-2011
I saw this in store today and got the following.....
lady grey quad (I thought the colours were unusual and nothing like what I have. I also thought the shadows felt lovely and soft)
heirloom s/s (I wanted to try a shade stick and thought this was a good one to start with - once swatched a couple times on my hand I thought it was lovely and creamy...i have yet to try it on the eyes yet tho)
runway red (this is a fab red with a slight hint of pink in it as far as I could see which I love)
226 brush
avenue fluidline (I love this colour as its a great alternative to blacktrack cause its a softer black and looks beautiful)
stunner (fab natural blush on me - I am nw/nc 15 for reference)
I was thinking of getting mythical but skipped cause it was very close to mythology. I would say that mythical is a better texture imo...smooth and buttery and not glittery like mythology. Mythical also has a slight pink sheen. If its still there in a couple of weeks I might pick it up, otherwise I might get something like expensive pink for the gold copper with pink sheen look
I also had a look at the evil eye quad. It is a lovely but I wouldn't use the darker colours in it that much so I might just get a Nars duo that has the bright pink and purple in it
hope that helps someone.....

You and everyone else who didn't like the shade sticks, have to check out Laura Mecier, she has some that are similiar. They are richly pigmented, not glittery, and soo buttery smooth. They are like a grown up version of shadesticks. ANd they took forever to budge from my hand.

I'm going to need you to start posting pictures! LOL
It'll be a really dramatic look with the dark lips (or even with the softer lippies). Evil Eye quad would be a lot softer and would make the dark lips the focal point, while using the UD shadows would be a look with strong eyes + strong lips. If you mean one of the lighter lips, I think Evil Eye wouldn't be as good with them as some heavier black shadows on you, or you'd have to go to town on the eye liner along with it.
You're looking for reasons to skip the Evil Eye, right?
I am the anti-enabler, you know......
However, just to confuse things a little, I tried Dark Indulgence MES, highlighted with Industrial pearlglide over it around the tear ducts and under the eye, and it looks badass with Prince Noir. The sparkle on the eyes complements the matte finish of the lipstick really well. If you have any of the dark MES from Semi-Precious, you should check them out with Prince Noir, Smoked Purple and even Runaway Red. Bootiful.

The new 226 is nowhere near the same 226 that came out with BBR. My old one is really tapered and the new one more dome shaped, doesn't bother me though since the I really don't need two 226 brushes that are identical 
One thing I don't get is why they named the brush with the same number, doesn't make sense.

It's happening again. It happens with allmost every collection I really like. I make one hauls and decide that that was that and then I start thinking about all the other pretty things in the collection. Now I'm starting to think that maybe I also shoud get Creamy Bisque and Mythical.. My wallet is wimpering in the corner and trying to hide from me
i am doing exactly the same! lol! we're hopeless!It's happening again. It happens with allmost every collection I really like.

It really depends on your undertones. On me (NW20), it does not swatch pink at all. If you get a chance, try it out for yourself.

I got to see the collection today and got Offshoot and the Evil Eye Quad. I like the quad very much - my mua did a nice look on me (over Chanel Emerveille that I wore today) and it's just the right amount of smokey for me. I liked the colours in the LG quad to, but I consider the darkest colour in it as quite light, and I like my MU on my eyes with a bit of oomph.
Offshoot is a nice mlbb shade on me. I tried Prince Noir, and it was just not right on me - also quite patchy?! Runway Red pulled really pink on me - and I wanted to have a true red. I'm thinking about getting a matte true red for fall, maybe one of Chanel's mattes or the prolongwear one from Styledriven.

I wasn't going to use any of them since I was returning them but after I read your post I thought Why not try the first one, at least then I will know. When I was using it I forgot it was a crease brush as it performed more like a crease blending brush? Anyhow i had to stop by Macy's so I took the brush along to compare it to their tester...Surprisingly they were simlar...not exact but similar enough...at least to that brush but defintely NOT the other two. BTW I didn't find it to be scratchy.
